Here's a flip side to that:</p> <blockquote> <p>The Senate Intelligence Committee also focused its attention on Flynn in recent weeks, issuing a rare subpoena last month for Russia-related documents in his possession. Flynn <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/michael-flynn-senate-subpoena/527232/">initially refused to comply</a>, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against compelled testimony that could be used to prosecute him. The committee then <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/flynn-subpoena-senate-russia/527904/">subpoenaed his businesses instead</a> to bypass the Fifth Amendment.</p> </blockquote> </div></div></div> Sat, 03 Jun 2017 08:07:14 +0000 artappraiser comment 238685 at http://dagblog.com
